If you lose the safety magnet, immediately order a replacement from AlterG. As a precaution,
the machine will not operate without the magnet directly over the Emergency Stop label.
Operating the Software & Using the Touch Screen
You are now zipped into the Anti-Gravity Treadmill and sealed to the enclosure. A great deal of
effort was made to make the Anti-Gravity Treadmill control screens as easy as possible to
operate. Controls are displayed as graphic buttons with the function of each button clearly
printed on its face. To select a function, the user simply touches the screen. Excessively
aggressive use of the touch screen feature may reduce its life expectancy; a light touch is all
that is required.
The Anti-Gravity Treadmill computer has a screen saver/sleep mode installed that is displayed
after 4 hours of sitting idle. A quick touch will display the Welcome screen.
Welcome Screen (Figure 9)
The first screen welcomes you to the Anti-Gravity
Treadmill. Choose “Start Session” to continue. If you
have not read the full content of this manual, it is
recommended that you QUIT at this time until you have
read this entire manual, or seek appropriate instruction
from a qualified user. By selecting the “Start Session”
button you acknowledge having read and understood
this manual and you will be taken the start session
screen.
Calibration Screen and Procedure (Figure 10)
After you choose “Start Session,” the calibration screen will be displayed. The calibration routine
provides critical information the Anti-Gravity Treadmill needs for accurate control of body weight
during exercise.
Follow the on-screen instructions and stand still in the
middle of the treadmill belt during the calibration
procedure. There are load cells located under the treadmill
belt that allow the machine to measure your body weight.
You will go through a series of enclosure inflations which
the machine uses to derive an algorithm specific to you,
allowing for precise effective body weight control.
NOTE: For an accurate calibration, it is critical that your full body weight be applied to the belt
surface. Supporting yourself on any other part of the machine, for example, resting an arm on
the top of the enclosure while the machine calibrates, will result in an erroneous calibration and
inaccurate body weight adjustment during exercise. It is recommended that you hold your arms
